This thread reminded me of a couple of quotations...
"I don't know what the [programming] language of the year 2000
will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran."
Tony Hoare (or maybe Alan Perlis - statement has been
attributed to several eminent computer scientists)
"ALGOL68 - that's Overextended Algol..."
Tony Hoare, quoted in Silicon Gulch Gazette, vol. 5 no. 2
